1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

We see Tyler and his 500 Cadillac horn collection

 

A good high resolution image to start with makes it all easier. Harder to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

 

@JKO1998 definitely has the eye for catching good pics of his critters in the wild.

 

Hmm i wonder what’s wrong with it other then 300k miles

The 200mm lens is a good starter zoom lens. You'll get those mountain lion in the tree shots from a little further back if you rather not risk being lunch to some hungry cat.

How close do you guys think I get?

I don’t leave the ground unless I have to, lions can be anywhere from 10 to 40 feet up

 

closer than i would ever get...

on another note, oh damn --

 

Everyone’s nervous their first time


Wait what’re we talking about

 

taking the shot of the cougar dude... lol Knowing how fast those things run, I don't think I'd be anything less than 1/4 mile away looking through a super lens... hahaha

the odometer pic was just to say, damn - hit 158888 today. closing in on that 160k.

 

If the cougar tries to attack, just scratch him behind his ears...cats love it

 

And under the chin

 

My joke went over your head I think, probably wasn’t a very good joke.

The thing about lions is they have small lung and not a lot of stamina, can’t run very long.

Bears on the other hand don’t give a shit and will run alll day long and they’ll run you down if they want.


Putting miles on your truck isn’t a bad thing haha

 

It's almost broke in.

 

still going to outrun you or me well, at least me.

 

about that bear... screw that. I'll see em at the zoo instead.

Exactly! Now there is a new subject for your photo shoots or stick with people instead?

Bears freak me the F out. Luckily we only have Black bears in CA anymore and they aren't particularly dangerous unless you really try to piss one off. But Grizzlies, nope...

I'm bad about taking my camera out with me on trails, I admit it. I do so much of it every day for work that when the weekend rolls around the last thing I wanna do is work on more photos. Kinda unfortunate but it is what it is lol.
